vptovf - convert virtual property lists to virtual font metrics

       Donald E. Knuth wrote the program, based in part on an idea of David Fuchs, starting with  the  code  for
       pltotf(1).  Karl Berry adapted it for compilation with web2c.

       This  manual  page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The complete documentation for this version of TeX can
       be found in the info file or manual Web2C:ATeXimplementation.

       The vptovf program translates a (human-oriented) property list file to a pair of (program-oriented) files
       in the VF (virtual font) and TFM (TeX font metric) formats. Thus, a virtual font file can be  edited  and
       its exact contents can be displayed mnemonically.  New virtual fonts, which map characters as seen by TeX
       into an arbitrary sequence of low-level typesetting operations, can also be created in this way.

       All  three  filenames, vpl_name, vf_name, and tfm_name, are extended with the appropriate suffix, if they
       lack one.

       Without the -verbose option, vptovf operates silently.  With it, a banner and progress report are printed
       on stdout.
